Next Generation is a platform for Afghan jewellers from our initiative Zindagi Now and men's and women's businesses supported through Arts Charity Turquoise Mountain to show and sell their work. Their designs draw on their cultural heritage, material design culture, and their own personal experiences. Supporting and treasuring this work will have a huge impact and bring visibility, independence, and joy to the lives of women and men of Afghanistan facing economic and social challenges. "My collection Shojaat is inspired by the remainings of my great granddad's house in my village. There is not much left of the house as it has been destroyed throughout the years. The only part left is a single piece of wall that stands alone in the fields. I love that wall. To keep that wall alive, I made it into a necklace so I can keep it with me forever." - Hakemi
